Musical beds is the faculty sport around here.

There are a number of contemporary playwrights whom I admire enormously, but that's not at all the same thing as being influenced.

As a fairly objective judgment, I do think that my plays as they come out are better than most other things that are put on the same year. But that doesn't make them very good necessarily.

Naturally, no writer who's any good at all would sit down and put a sheet of paper in a typewriter and start typing a play unless he knew what he was writing about.

To write a play one must be born a playwright. Otherwise, you're starting at a huge disadvantage.

Art is nowhere near as dangerous as it should be.

In the theater, which is a sort of jungle, one does have to be a little bit careful. One mustn't be so rigid or egotistical to think that every comma is sacrosanct. But at the same time there is the danger of losing control and finding that somebody else has opened a play and not you.
